A Blog designed for discussion of topics related to, but not limited to, Circus, Zoos, Animal Training, and Animal Welfare/Husbandry. Sometimes opening up the dialog is the best starting point of all. And if for nothing else when people who agree and don't agree, get together and start discussing it, it will open up a lot of peoples minds. Debate and discussion even amongst themselves opens a window where there wasn't one before.

An old cowpoke went riding out one dark and windy dayUpon a ridge he rested as he went along his wayWhen all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he sawA'plowin' through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw

Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-oGhost riders in the sky

Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steelTheir horns wuz black and shiny and their hot breaths he could feelA bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the skyFor he saw the riders comin' hard and he heard their mournful cry

Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-oGhost riders in the sky

Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, and shirts all soaked with sweatThey're ridin' hard to catch that herd but they ain't caught them yetThey've got to ride forever in that range up in the skyOn horses snortin' fire, as they ride on, hear their cry

Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-oGhost riders in the sky

As the riders loped on by him, he heard one call his name"If you want to save your soul from hell a' ridin' on our range""Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride""A-tryin' to catch the Devil's herd across these endless skies."
